A Simple Model for Reinforcing Bar Anchorages Under Cyclic Excitations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple and computationally efficient model of the hysteretic response of reinforcing bar anchorages under severe cyclic excitations is presented. The model is based on a piecewise linear approximation of the bond stress ...
Nonlinear Finite-Element Analysis of RC Shear Panels and Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures, finite-element analysis plays an important role, particularly in regard to the evaluation of critical regions, regions with special detailing, or regions of ...
Evaluation of Nonlinear Frame Finite-Element Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years nonlinear dynamic analysis of three-dimensional structural models is used more and more in the assessment of existing structures in zones of high seismic risk and in the development of appropriate retrofit ...
Geometrically Nonlinear Flexibility-Based Frame Finite Element
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents a new element for geometrically nonlinear analysis of frame structures. The proposed formulation is flexibility based and uses force interpolation functions for the bending moment variation that depend ...

Mixed Formulation of Nonlinear Steel-Concrete Composite Beam Element
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an inelastic beam element for the analysis of steel-concrete girders with partial composite action under monotonic and cyclic loads. The element is derived from a two-field mixed formulation with ...
Generalized Warping Torsion Formulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A general formulation for torsional-flexural analysis of beams with arbitrary cross section is presented in a general coordinate system. The theory maintains Vlasov's approach in terms of generalized strains and stresses ...
Frame Element for Metallic Shear-Yielding Members under Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modeling the energy dissipation capacity of shear-yielding members is important in the evaluation of the seismic response of earthquake resistant structural systems. This paper presents the model of a frame element for the ...
Finite-Element Model for Pretensioned Prestressed Concrete Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a nonlinear model for pretensioned prestressed concrete girders. The model consists of three main components: a beam-column element that describes the behavior of concrete, a truss element that describes ...
